Rules, examples and scoring explanations
Earth scores a wide range of tableau and resource categories after the 4×4 endgame is triggered.
Printed card VP
Add printed victory points on flora, terrain and other scoring cards in your tableau, resolving any variable end-game formulas as written.
Sprouts and growth pieces
Count sprouts and growth segments/canopies using the standard values in the rulebook. These remain valuable even when their associated engine ability is no longer needed.
Composted cards
Your compost pile contributes points based on the base-game conversion. Compost therefore has both tactical value during play and direct end-game value.
Fauna and ecosystem objectives
Add points earned from shared fauna objectives and from your ecosystem cards. Public goal placement can produce different rewards depending on relative completion timing.
Completion bonus
The first player to complete a legal 4×4 tableau receives the end-trigger completion bonus described by the rules.
